The girl's mother told authorities she and her husband left the house and their other children, ages 13, nine and five, were supposed to be watching the baby.
The Department of Family and Children Services was brought in but decided to release the child to the mother's care so that she could be taken for medical treatment.
Authorities said charges also could be filed against the girl's mother.
are there any more details? It seems odd they’d be brought in and charge the parents if they left a 13 year old in charge for a bit. That’s pretty commonplace.
I don’t know, the 13 year old should have been able to handle that.
Sometimes people screw up, it doesn’t always mean they’ve broken the law.
